Christine Minges
I just wanted to let all of you know that I am dancing in college!!
I am participating in John Carroll University's dance ensemble,
which is a performing arts group that focuses on ballet, but also
incorporates the styles of jazz, lyrical, pointe and modern. We
participate in three performances, including a Christmas and Spring
presentation. I am also going to be given some opportunities to
choreograph ballet and pointe numbers.
My course load right now is obviously very challenging because
I am majoring in pre-med/biology, but I always look forward
to attending dance practice! I miss all of you so much and
without your influence, dancing would never have had the impact
that it has in my life today! I hope everyone is doing well
and the Allstars are preparing well for the competition season.
I wish you all the best of luck!
